Threats to water, energy, food (WEF) availability and security are placing pressure on
the resilience of the economy, environment and society, due to, amongst other things,
over use of land, high levels of emissions, increasing inequality, unhealthy diets, and
more frequent extreme weather events. Policy makers have also to consider targets
to cut carbon emissions and climate change impacts elevating uncertainties about
nexus outcomes. Stakeholders from industry, government and society need support
to make good decisions.
This research will take a trans-disciplinary approach focusing on the interconnections
between disciplines, examining trade-offs and related economic, environmental and societal
outcomes. Case study data will provide examples of low impact WEF systems operating at
different scales from micro to macro. There will be several explanations for their success and
also innovation potential in other locations or at other scales. The research problem to which
this doctoral work will contribute is that of how to step up innovation and demonstrate how
the threats to WEF availability and security can be alleviated.
